About this image

The comet is well known for its outbursts. One recently took place and this is apparent from the extended coma. I'm following these developments in the comet section (MISSION-29P). There is some nice detail in the coma which is about 2.2' arc across on this image. The galaxy is UGC 3536. There are several much fainter galaxies sprinkled in the area of 0.3 degrees.
